The Library and You. The problem which now confronts the Richmond library authorities and which has given rise to a special effort toward popularizing that institution, may be summed up in the one word "relationship." The whole question is, how can we hitch up the library to the people? On the one hand, is the citizen with his need of reading. If he is to be the right kind of a citizen, if his life is to be a twentieth century life, if he is going to get his share of the things that are now being passed around, he will be a student of books. On the other hand is the library with all its lacilities for supplying his needs. It has the books, the magazines, the dictionaries, encyclopedias, music rolls, pictures and all the other paraphernalia necessary to study and culture. The difficulty heretofore has been, how can we get the citizen to make use of his privileges ? How can we put those privileges in such shape that he shall know of them and shall be tempted lo make use of them? To tie these two together, the library and the citizen with the need to read that has been the problem. That it is a problem under way of solution is shown by the fact that the city librarian and her assistants are putting forth extra efforts; and that the trustees are themselves taking the lead in the present movement. That includes everything but the public itself. You, reader, belong to that public. What are you doing toward the larger usefulness of the library ? Are you using it ? Are you encouraging your children or your employes to make use of it? Are you taking an intelligent and citizenlike interest in it? The whole thing is now up to you. If you will take a hand, Richmond may have as well equipped and as well used a library as any town of its size in the country.

Emerson's Limitations. John Burroughs said that an admirer assumes the same attitude toward Emerson that a man does toward his wife. He is willing to find fault with him himself but doesn't like to hear anybody elso do so. The only respect in which any loyal Emersonian could possibly pick a quarrel with Professor Perry's fine and luminous lecture, which he delivered at Earlham last Saturday evening, would be with his treatment of Emerson's limitations. Like most interpreters of the great Concord philosopher, Professor Perry holds that Emerson did not have an adequate grasp of the fact and urgency and problem of human sin and evil. The entire scope of criticism was summed up by Jonathan Brierley in a single sentence, "Emerson could not understand the meaning of Calvary." Professor Perry explained Emerson's failure to see the reality of sin by saying that he used his transcendentalism as an aeroplane to fly off into the heights from which he lost sight of this real world. It has never seemed to us, in spite of all these authoritative criticisms, that Emerson was lacking in his perception of the prevalence of sin in humanity. Rather it seems that where he differs from the rest of us in our treatment of this subject is in the way he expresses himself. He called it by a different name though it was as real to him as to us. A man may be very optimistic and yet be a man among men and true to the facts of experience. Walt Whitman was quite as optimistic as Emerson yet no one has

ever accused him of living on the stars. We believe that Emerson could look at sin hopefully because he always saw everything in the light of the broadest perspective. He listened to the centuries rather than to the hours, and perceived, as every human spirit must percieve, that health and sanity are the natural order of things, that goodness is a permanency and that evil is the exception. He believed that the Power which makes the world is adequate to its task and that every human child of that Deity may be fully confident of the outcome at the end. Like St. John in his dreams on the island of Patmos, Emerson responded to the call of the Spirit, "Come up hither and I will show you that which shall be hereafter." If he underestimated the force of present sin, it was because he so clearly saw the future triumph of goodness. Perhaps he did not feel the pressure of sin as much as the majority of us on the other hand, because of his unique consciousness of the full and complete resources of the human soul. When one feels himself in first hand communion with Deity, he becomes conscious of a power that gives him a feeling of superiority over all obstacles and weaknesses. Nothing is more characteristic of Emerson's teachings than his constant emphasis of the vastness of the human soul, the divine potentialities of the human heart, and in this he has been supported and approved by the modern science with its revelations of the subliminal mind. It appears to us that where Emerson ceases to be helpful to us is where he under-estimates

the difficulty of coming into a consciousness of one's own power and divinity. He talks as if a man needed only to repose himself and sit in silence for a time in order to experience the influx of the tides of the eternal sea. But this is not true in the experience of the saintliest life. The autobiography of all great heroes of the spirit are packed with cries and lamentations over the difficulty of coining into the divine communion. It is in this regard that Emerson may mislead us. How he might draw us aside is exhibited, it would seem, in the case of such a whole-hearted Emersonian as Benjamin Fay Mills. Those who have read or heard this great preacher's Chicago lectures during the past three or four years know to what absurd lengths he has carried the doctrine of the subconscious soul. To read Emerson with profit for the every day practical questions of life, one needs only to keep in mind that whereas he was able to rise into the God consciousness at almost a moment's notice, the great majority of us must struggle and sweat and toil and bleed before we are even priviliged to catch a glimpse of that light which is the true light of every man that cometh into the world.

The Beauty of Winter. Fie on the man who shrinks and shivers these cold winter days! who longs to escape to the tropics ! To a healthy and honest heart, winter is as attractive and as beautiful in its own way as spring is or summer. It is in winter only that we can fully appreciate the essential beauty of nature which is a matter of permanent structure rather than accidental qualities. In the matter of color, for instance, see what winter gives us! The sky is never clearer or more beautiful or more susceptible to the changes of the day. Flowing streams are far more beau

tiful in winter than in summer. The unclouded

waters flow like a liquid diamond which catches the faintest trace of shadow and shine. Even

the brown stretches of the dead meadows have a kind of sober beauty of their own. And a keen eye will never tire of looking at the thousand shades of brown and chestnut and gray which

mottle in the dry foliage of the oaks and hedges.

In winter the eye can feast on the beauty of

line and space and proportion. One is not so ab

sorbed in color as in summer of autumn and is better able to see the delicate grace of the lines

which etch the landscape.

No human form is more gracefully molded

than the bare shoulders of the hill. The one who stands on the side of the slope when nature

is nude in winter will see for the first time how

graceful, how harmonious are all her lines and

proportions. Winter is the very season for a tree lover,

Only then can he appreciate the tracery of the

branches against the sky, the strength and mas terf ulness of the trunk structure, the pendulous

ness and the grace of the spreading limbs, and the

chiseled sculpture of the bark.

Winter is the season of snow, that miracle of

beauty. What other element can work so great an enchantment? It can change the face of the

world over night.

And winter is the best season for those who love the stars. It is on such cold and frosty nights as these that we can best see those vast and flaming orbs and can best hear their messages as they reach their hands to us across the unexplored deeps. It is only on some clear still winter night when the eye is undistracted by things close at hand that the human soul can lully appreciate the splendors and the wonders of that vast city of God which a winter night reveals to us. Therefore welcome, Winter! The wise man will not seek to fly from it but rather will covet that sympathy with it through which he may come to know its beauty so unlike the beauty of any other season of the year.

ECONOMY

DAYTON. O., Feb. 10. Th Associated Charities organisation, which had its equipment destroyed by the flood last March, is once more completely rehabilitated. During the week following the flood all relief work was placed under the management of the Red Cross au

thorities. After the flood distress was cared for, the Red Cross stayed long enough to help Dayton put the Associated Charities in good working , order. j When the new city administration ' went Into office last month all charitable work was placed In the department of public welfare, of which Dr.

Frank Garland, a former English Lutheran minister, is the bead. It is through him and his office that the charities link up with the city govern-' ment. At present they really are a part of the municipal administration. Assures Economy. This means that all charitable re-' lief work is made answerable to responsible officials who see to it that it , is economically and efficiently man-' aged. j One of the biggest problems before ' the scientific reorganization of char-i lty work here was the large number! of churches, lodges and other volun-j tary organizations which did charitable work. The members of these societies practiced relief indiscriminately and helped without much investi

gation. The result was that most of the charitable work of the city did more harm than good. Instead of stiffening the backbone of the "down-and-outer" and putting a sense of manhood and independence into him as the right! kind of charity work ought to do, it made a pauper out of him, whining; about and begging for help. When all these organizations were! persuaded to tie up with the Associated Charities, to co-operate with the officials there in charge, and to have

all their philanthropic activities go through those regular channels, all the evils due to this Indiscriminate and haphazard giving were elmlnated. The Associated Charities occupy a large building on South Jefferson street, and Is now an Institution organized like a business house, with

its superintendent, department heads and assistants. Its offices are equipped with improved appliances and everything done to get the utmost results from every dollar spent. Miss Edward.' the head of the Associated Charities, is a trained worker of long experience. Her work is her profession and she takes as much pride in it as a doctor does in his practice. One of the great obstacles in the way of efficient charitable work before the reorganization of these activities was the raising of funds. Large numbers of the city's unfortunates bad to suffer unrelieved because the Associated Charities did not have the money with which to help them, and It was this lack of funds that always stood in the way of more business-like organization of the institution. "How can we employ professional people," citizens were asked, "when we have hardly money enough to pay our rent for our building;"' Thee persons overlooked the fwl that one of the functions of a professional charity work is the raising of funds, and that an expert will be as successful in securing adequate income as In eficiently apply it after it is secured.

The strict enforcement of the curfew law by the orders of Chief Goodwin brought results. Saturday evening a half dozen youths, four boys and two girls, were found on the streets unescorted. The policemen accompanied them to their homes where they informed the parents, mothers in most cases, that if the children' were found on the streets after 8 o'clock, then more drastic action would be taken in the second offense. "It Is time some action was taken on this matter." said Chief Goodwin in telling of the recent action of the department, "Although there has been a curfew law on the statute books of Indiana for a number of years It nevertheless has been more or less arbitrary whether or not it was strictly enforced." The police department at this time has taken a definite stand on the matter and it proposed to stop the evil of permitting the boys and girls of Richmond to run the streets unescorted after 8 o'clock at night. Chief Goodwin has instructed the patrolmen and

plain clothes officers to watch carefully for the violations of the law and make report to the department. Each cas? will be investigated and if the parents are negligent, then steps will be taken to punish the offenders.

To Put On Flesh And Increase Weight A Physician's Advice. Mo3t thin people eat from four to s'. pounds of good solid fat-making food every day, and still do not increas ; in weight one ounce, while on the other hand many of the plump, chunky folks eat very lightly and keep gaining all the time. It's all bosh to say that this is the nature of the individual. It isn't Nature's way at all. Thin folks stay thin because their powers of assimilation are defective. They just absorb enough of the food they eat to maintain life and a semblance of health and strength. Stuffleg won't help them. A dozen meals a day won't make them gain a single stay there" pound. All the fat-producing elements of therr food just stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. What such people need is something that will prepare these fatty food elements so that their blood can absorb them and deposit them all about the body something, too, that will multiply their red blood corpuscles and increase their blood's carying power. For such a condition I always recommend eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol is not, as some believe, a patented drug, but is a scientific combination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh-building elements known to chemistry. It is absolutely harmless, yet wonderfully effective, and a single tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect of increasing the weight of a thin man or woman from three to live pounds a week. Sargol is sold by Leo H. Fihe and other good druggists everywhere on a positive guarantee of weight increase 'or money back. -
